The room still smelled of her–faint traces of sweat and sex, the sheets tangled from

where I had fucked her until her voice broke.

I had brought the sex from the mini room to the main bedroom. I wanted to mark every corner of this room with our sin. And I almost did.

Just a few more corners left.

She had clawed at my back, bitten into my shoulder, screamed my name like she had nothing left in her world but me.

And for a while, that was all I needed.
